Defence Construction Canada (DCC) is calling for abbreviated proposals from consulting firms to establish Source List (SL) to provide “as and when required” professional services specific to Department of National Defence (DND) requirements for Nunavut.
This procurement is subject to the Agreement Between the Inuit of the Nunavut Settlement Area and Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada (the Nunavut Agreement), and the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat’s Directive on Government Contracts (including real property leases) in the Nunavut Settlement Area.
Canada’s free trade agreements pose no impediment to the inclusion of measures including set asides, for the benefit of Indigenous Peoples and businesses in a procurement. This applies to procurement obligations pursuant to all Modern Treaties (Comprehensive Land Claims Agreements).
Information provided by the Proponents will be evaluated using the established criteria in the RFAP. The criteria include Inuit and Nunavut benefits for Inuit employment, Inuit training and skills development, subcontracting to Inuit firms, and the location of offices/facilities in the NSA.
The Security Requirements for this project are identified in the RFAP Documents.
The SL will be for a period of one (1) year with a maximum estimated value of $1,250,000.00. Commissions under the SL are expected to be valued between $200,000 and $300,000; the maximum value of a commission is $450,000. Subject to whether the Consultant is an Inuit Firm that is still registered and in good standing on the Inuit Firm Registry, and if mutually agreeable between the Consultant and DCC, the SL may be extended for up to two (2) additional one (1) year periods and increased in the order of $1,250,000.00 for each additional period or when the SL reaches its maximum value, whichever comes first. Refer to the RFAP document for additional information.
Firms that consider themselves qualified to provide these services are invited to submit their Abbreviated Proposals through the MERX Electronic Bidding System on or before the closing date and time indicated on the Electronic Bidding System.
